One embodiment is directed to a method in a computer system including a host computer and at least one storage system including first and second storage volumes, the host computer including at least one application program executing thereon. The first thermal treatment may be a rapid thermal annealing step, while the second thermal treatment may be a rapid thermal nitridation step. An event identified by the policy is detected at the network device. For each experiment, the file includes information regarding a location and size of the experiment within the layer. One FAA certification that permits the sale of aircraft capacity includes FAR Part 135. The control unit determines the energy required using point by point digital processing of the spatial distribution of temperature in the target zone and its immediate surroundings.
